mate!

I give u full credit for all the work done on this RS! i mean thats one hell of a motor!. The body work is lush! The seats are amazin!... Its not chav'ed up or over done. That front end looks awsome and then rear carbon looks lush! You have given alot of thought to the car and i admire all the work thats gone into this, Dont sell it as man thats just CLEAN! I hope to get some chance to catch this motor in the flesh!

Good word Eden! Mint Motor!

I might get you to pinstrip my wheels mate if you did it yourself?

I have seen the kits you can buy for bikes on ebay and was going to make one of them fit and see how I got on.

I have Paradas on my daily driver and they dont seem that bad in the wet, but on saying that I dont really beast the arse off it when its wet, as fuel spills on fast sweeping bends have court me out a few times! RSTs seem to suffer from this badly for some reason. They are a very soft compound though so for a more powerful car (like Daves) Dave probably has a point.
